Kevin Costner: John Dutton

Quotes 

• Malcolm Beck : Don't you want to have your lawyer present?

  John Dutton : This don't feel like a lawyer meeting.

  Teal Beck : I saw your son go against Peabody Coal before the Senate. He's one hell of a litigator.

  John Dutton : Yeah, he can argue with the best of them. So, what's this problem?

  Malcolm Beck : A casino in this valley will have a negative affect on our business. Your ranch and the others.

  Teal Beck : In five years, how many ranches like this can afford to exist?

  Malcolm Beck : Wanna hear our guess. Soon as that casino opens, they'll approach the Forest Service for land lease. And they'll build a ski resort.

  Teal Beck : And you know as well as anyone, ski resorts are daggers to the heart for places like this.

  Malcolm Beck : It'll be an ocean of second homes in ten years.

  John Dutton : I'm aware.

  Malcolm Beck : I'm sure you are. Look, my office has no authority over an Indian casino.

  Teal Beck : And yours has no authority over the land. And your new AG can't restrict them. That's why we need to fight this outside the lines, Mr. Dutton. And we just don't think they got the stomach for that.

  John Dutton : Yeah, well they have the stomach for it. I don't need partners, fellas.

  Teal Beck : Dan Jenkins has a partner. A big one.

  Malcolm Beck : Think of us as allies. We'd be the perfect allies for each other, John. Because there is no part of your business that benefits ours. And vice versa.

  Teal Beck : And when we fight, it's a zero-sum game. We will win. At any cost.

  John Dutton : Yeah.

  Malcolm Beck : John... we just want you to consider it.

  John Dutton : I consider every option, Malcolm. And I choose the one that's best for my family. If it helps you, it's a coincidence.

  Rip Wheeler : That's not the way you wear one of those.

  Jamie Dutton : Working with them is a deal with the devil, Dad.

  John Dutton : All the angels are gone, son. There's only devils left.

• John Dutton : If he calls dispatch for support, I expect you to give it to him. Did you hear me, Donnie?

  Sheriff Donnie Haskell : I heard you, John. The whole goddamn valley heard you.

• Jamie Dutton : The first thing we want you to look into is this Paradise Valley Development Corporation.

  Jamie Dutton : They've sold property to the Broken Rock Tribe, which is attempting to annex it into their reservation. We'd like you to file an injunction against it...

  Cassidy Reid : Can we contest that?

  Jamie Dutton : I mean, they're clearly attempt to avoid state tax obligations and regulatory requirements. I'd say we have a good chance.

  Cassidy Reid : What about this Senate hearing regarding jurisdiction violation by the Livestock Association?

  Beth Dutton : Let me ask you a question, Attorney General-elect. Do you find Jamie's knowledge of the raid prior to it happening inculpatory in any way? I'm concerned about what happens if they ask him to testify.

  Cassidy Reid : Umm. I think attorney-client privileges recuse him of that. Even if he's aware of a crime before it happened. Are you saying a crime was intentionally committed?

  John Dutton : There was no crime. Not the time. Not the place.

  Cassidy Reid : The concern is... the negative press surrounding the hearing can cause a ripple effect... emboldening others to come forward with accusations that may hold legal merit. Our goal should be to avoid a hearing altogether.

  John Dutton : How do you plan to do that?

  Cassidy Reid : I'm working on it, Commissioner.
